Eagles Win!!!!!

I though anyone could use it. While it is run by Delta, I thought anyone willing to pay for it has access to it.

There's an operator but you talk directly to the pilot. But you can have the operator patch in someone if needed as well. The operator just sits and listens. It's just like talking on the phone with Arinc. with Delta Radio, it's a push to talk star to talk, pound to listen type thing which is trickier and if im dealing with an inflight situation, i'd rather focus on just talking and listening and not having to press buttons and having to think about which buttons you're pressing. Hope that makes sense.

Cant you use a ptt phone or headset in leu of doing star/pound?
 
Going back to that snapshot, I saw that they have flight explorer, sabre flight trak plus, and dispatch monitor. But what do sabre flight trak and dispatch monitor do? Also whats with the green/yellow/red grids on monitor. Im guessing the Green means you have time til the departure time, yellow means you are cutting it close, and red means the flight is past departure time without a release?

The grids are the working spreadsheet of the flights to plan out. Green means the flight has been planned and released. Yellow means that it is coming due and red means that it is due within an hour (or whatever parameters the company sets it to). The Flight Trak plot is the timeline of each airplane (where it goes, block time, next legs, etc.....).
 
But why would dispatchers need access to Sabre Maint Control? Unless at EDV dispatchers do both dispatch and maint control?

So with Flight Trak are dispatchers dispatching flights and scheduling them/rearraging schedules or are they just looking at a snapshot of the days operations?

The routers look at a much larger picture of the plot. I used it to see where the airplane would end up in case of performance penalty MEL (no ice, cat I airplane only, etc....) and/or if the captains wanted an airplane change. I would look to see that the airplane is routed for maintenance and is staying on that line of flying.
 
Also seems like a pretty managable workload with 22 flights in dispatch monitor but why are multiple boxes in the same row green/yellow/red?
 
The plot lets you input times and it is also where the times for each flight go into. You don't really have that control with monitor. The plot also has all the station numbers on there if you need to look it up and allows coordinators to do things such as delay flights and swap aircraft.
 
Ive seen on here that some people really dislike sabre for its things such as red/green light planning and diversion tools. How are their tools from your point of view? Are they great tools if you use them to their full potential?

Handy to know if an aircraft is out of service/ broken/ almost fixed/ where a flight attendant is coming from/ if an aircraft is routed for a line check etc.
